I’ve only used this carpet cleaner once so far, but it impressed me right away. It’s not like the others I’ve tried—it actually lifts the dirt, refreshes the carpet, and leaves everything looking noticeably better. Easy to use, powerful, and does exactly what it promises. If it keeps performing like this, it’ll be my go‑to from now on.

Excellent machine. Somehow the machine puts out plenty of water. I was alittle worried about that but quickly realized there was an extraction only setting. The carpets were fully dry within 45 mins. Smell is clean and stains came out. Very pleased by this very easy to work machine. The only drawback is the tanks are small but for as well as it worked it didn’t mind at all.

Works great! No hair to pick up after you clean your carpets

The tanks are smaller, but as someone with a disability, this was very easy to use and clean up afterwards. It pulled a lot of dirt out of my carpet very easily and quickly. Love how easy it was to use.

Awesome! I’ve had many other brands and this by far is the BEST!! The dirty tank is small but I’ll take that over a shampooer that actually doesn’t clean like this one does! Stains…gone! I am in awwww!! Great job Shark!! Highly recommend!!!

I am a little disappointed with the suction power of the carpet cleaner. It leaves carpets pretty wet. You have no control of how wet it gets because the cleaner controls the flow. It also goes through solution very fast. It does do a decent job at getting the carpet clean.

The model EX304 advertised and ordered through Sams club arrived, but is actually a different model EX234. I'll probably return it because of that

Small and heavy, required frequent emptying and refill, not good for any rooms of substantial size. Did not come with all parts stated on box, missing dirty water filter. If you are a pet owner it does leave clums of hair and hair does get clumpped in rollers.

Feedback based on Sam website information as of Nov 17 2025. 1 star because Sam website indicated Shark model EX304. But model received was EX234 (see attached photo). Contacted Customer service. Informed the EX304 model currently not in stock, with no estimated date for when it will be available. The main difference is the EX300 line has the HairPro feature built into the carpet cleaner, whereas the EX200 line does not. Disappointed with misleading information on Sam's website.

Easy assembly. Used twice. The first time on an area rug. It seemed to clean well although not as much. Dirty water removed as I thought there should have been. The next day I used it on a low/medium pike carpet and the first go around with soap only a few tablespoons of dirty water returned. I cleaned the machine , there was a small amount of dog hair. Tried it again with water only and got even less dirty water returned than with soap! After this experience, I returned the machine and will look at other brands!
